Desktop.ini is in the root directory of the Vista installation CD?

microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation setup

Because I have a virus, I have reformatted about six times. Yet, the
processes associated with the virus pop up in the task manager - even before
I connect to the internet. Yesterday, I discovered that the file Desktop.ini
was showing up in my CD root directory. The file has been popping up all over
my computer. Sometimes, two sit on my desktop. I checked the timestamp on
the discovered file, and it was the time of my last reformat. Though it
presented in the CD drive, the file path reflected that the file was in the
C: drive - under the Temporary Burn Folder. Can anyone explain what is going
on here?

Thanks... Do you(or does anyone else) have any idea why DCOM applications
would be running just after my reformat and just before I connect to the
internet - even if I am not suppoed to be on a server?
